The Change Up: Alteration to Fit




Changing up your style is not hard at all. First you have to know and have an idea about how you want your style to change. Some basic and classic pieces to purchase for you newly found wardrobe are white, black, and light blue solid oxford shirt, navy, black, and grey suit, black and brown shoes. This is just a start. With this pieces you can create many different looks by mixing and matching. If you want to jump right in to creativity though, you can play with different patterns and prints. Shirt patterns including Gingham and pinstripe and with suits Window pane, Glen Plaid, Prince of Wales patterns, etc. Check out different blogs and photos to get some influences on what you are trying to do. You have to be confident in yourself also. My advice would be to find out your true size. This is a key factor in changing things up. You have to know not to buy things too little, nor too big. Fit is everything, especially nowadays. From the fit of your shirt to the size of your shoes. All ready to wear piece will need a little alteration. The way I changed my size was I just started buying my true size with it comes to my clothing. As expressed earlier knowing your size is vital. I started getting all my pants altered. I get a hem and 28 inchs, and a tape of 7 1/2. For the most part my jackets fit the way I like so they rarely need alterations. It is about trail and error. You have to find what works for you and what doesn't.
